Hello Intan,

I had a right lower lobe lobectomy (vats surgery) in April last year. The operation was on a Wednesday and I was discharged on the Saturday. I had very little pain whilst in hospital and didn't need to take painkillers afterwards. 

I was already making lunch for my husband and I (just a defrosted preheated chicken casserole with some steamed veg - nothing too difficult!) on the Sunday.

I took it easy for a few weeks after coming home but made sure I went for daily walks locally. After a few weeks I was able to walk around a mile without difficulty. After a few months I was back doing aerobics exercise classes. I'm 70 years of age.

The Roy Castle lung cancer website has some good information which might be useful to you.

Christine Mac's reply to you is informative and helpful.

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have and hope everything goes well for you.
